New York, Charles Scribner´s Sons, 1899. 4to. mayor, XIII - 412 pp. Con 43 láminas fotográficas, 3 planos y dos mapas plegados. Encuadernación original en tela estampada, fatigada. El autor fue vecino de Robert Louis Stevenson en Samoa entre 1890 y 1893 en que como alma itinerante partió hacia la Polinesia Oriental en busca de islas vírgenes. A su vuelta a Sidney se topó con Louis Becke quien le habló de una isla que llamaba Venecia cubierta enteramente por la jungla y situada "en el mar de las pequeñas islas". Es así como fue a parar en las Carolinas, sobre las que escribió éste primer libro, fascinado por su belleza y por el misterio de las ruinas monumentales de Lele Island. . Cabe recordar que el año de publicación de esta obra España había vendido las islas a Alemania.
